A teeth structure model can be a detailed anatomical model of the lower jaw that includes the structure of the teeth, gums, and nerves. It can also be a typodont, which is a model of the oral cavity that includes the teeth, gums, and palate.
Here are some things to know about teeth structure:
- Crown: The visible part of the tooth that’s above the gums.
- Enamel: A hard, protective substance that covers the crown.
- Root: The part of the tooth that’s below the gums and holds the tooth in the jaw.
- Types of teeth: Humans have eight incisors, four canines, eight premolars, and twelve molars.
- Typodont: A model used by dental and hygienist students to practice dental procedures on plastic teeth before performing them on live patients.
